Legal Resource Tutorials
The Legal Writing and Research Online Tutorials are the result of collaboration between the Arthur Neef Law Library and the Law School Legal Writing and Research (LWR) Program. Each tutorial is designed to supplement LWR course instruction by simulating a one-on-one introduction to legal research materials.
The tutorials will also assist other WSU students engaged in classes in other disciplines that have legal components to acquire a basic understanding of the process of legal research.
